Brazil advances with the implementation of the Mosaic initiative at subnational level

Brazil is moving forward with the Mosaic initiative through a nationwide effort to strengthen respiratory virus surveillance. Led by the Ministry of Health with support from the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), National Council of Health Secretaries, municipal health authorities, and the Todos pela Saúde Institute, the country has already conducted dozens of workshops that are shaping state-level plans to enhance preparedness, response, and surveillance capacities for respiratory threats, building on lessons learned from influenza and COVID-19.

Unity Studies Global Network: A global initiative to strengthen pandemic preparedness and response

To strengthen preparedness and response to respiratory pathogen events, PAHO is promoting the Unity Studies initiative, a pandemic preparedness and readiness framework for conducting targeted investigations and studies  designed to generate scientific evidence to guide public health decision-making at the national, regional, and global levels during epidemics and pandemics.

If you are interested in learning more about the network and opportunities to participate, please contact Diana Malo (malodia@paho.org).
